Isn’t Concrete Hard on the Legs and Feet?
Some are anxious that a concrete floor will be too harsh on their joints and feet, perhaps causing discomfort while in place for the long periods needed during a restaurant shift. In fact, epoxy flooring can help to reduce this situation. With California Custom Coatings, you can select different levels of thickness and rigidness for your epoxy coats to assist with reducing impact and vibration. With the right specifications during application, your epoxy floor can be safer and better for your joints and feet than plain concrete or tile choices.
Is Coated Concrete Easy to Clean?
Epoxy floors have no seams or joints, so there’s no place for dirt, bacteria, hair, old food, or other contaminants to get trapped. There’s no grout to clean and scour. Usually, all epoxy floors need for cleaning and maintenance is a good mopping. In addition, requesting coved flooring lengthens the durability of epoxy coats up the walls of your kitchen from a matter of inches to more than a foot, protecting your walls and floors from spills and collisions with carts and delivery dollies.
Is Coated Concrete Too Slick?
The topcoat on any concrete floor can be adjusted to improve the traction. Certainly, a high gloss concrete surface like you see in a retail store or office building may be slippery and unsafe when wet, but in kitchens we do not install the same topcoats as that we use in areas that prioritize aesthetics over anti-slip. However, that does not mean that your floor looks commercial or industrial or feels like it is produced with grit. The science behind epoxy sealers is far beyond that and provides us many lovely methods of avoiding slippery flooring that are approved by skilled building designers.
